I am soooo in love with your latest fabric line (Hoo's in the Forest). I bought some and I have your Slice Fabrique design card too! I just finished up a quilt so I would really like to put something together with it....thanks so much for the adorableness of it all...can't get enough!!!

Today I went up to My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe (famous @diydish twins! Kris is the owner) up in Logan, UT for the Halloween Mystery Quilt get together. It's been such a huge hit for them, that they not only meet once, but four times on Saturday! {And they also carry Hoo's In the Forest!} Can I...

Yup. You heard me right. It's madness and mayhem here. And the truth is, I'm loving it. I must thrive on chaos, as my mom as always said she does ... because I'm a complete and very happy crazy cake right now. I'm working on this little piece as a new PDF pattern, and I hope to have it done by...

I am so excited for these new design cards to come out, I can't tell you! I think I would make a pretty wall hanging of a tea party going on...and that dress form is adorable too!!!! Thanks so much for the opportunity! I LOVE the slice fabrique!!!

This sure has become the land of give-aways lately. It's madness. But I promise you, you are going to want to stick around for this one. It's time to give away a one of my Paris Apartment design cards for Slice Fabrique! Of course, you do know that they're available from Strawberry Patches if...

Here she is... our newest design for little girls! We're so excited about the torrance dress. It's sweet and simple and comfy to wear, with a swingy tiered skirt and an easy button-and-loop back closure! We named this special dress after our best friend's beautiful mother, To...

This is wonderful! You sound like Carla, drawing patterns with graphic stuff on the computer...I haven't a clue. Hey maybe you can do this as a schoolhouse sometime? Anyways, love the quilt and the new Paris Apartment fabric. I have a Slice Fabrique so I am waiting for your design card to hit the stores! Beautiful! Thanks,
Cathy

A couple weeks ago our friend Pam (ours being yours and mine) came over to play. It was one of those mornings. She had tweeted she was unfocused or something of the sort, and I tweeted back, "come be unfocused with me" or something like that. I had been contemplating starting a new quilt w...

louLOUthi = flower (Greek) If there was one of Anna Maria's fabric collections that we could consider THE masterpiece, it would have to be Loulouthi. (That is, if we could pick a favorite. But you know very well that we've loved them all, and each new one ends up our "favorite" at som...

Sorry for the absence. Quilt Market is one of those events where recovering from it takes longer than the event itself. There are parties every night and that's after a long day slogging ever-growing tote bags all over the convention center. If you ever want to see a gaggle of strung out quil...

It's crazy that Summer is over... for us, that means we have to start thinking about winter (yes, already!)... We actually started digging up our holiday stockings and started brainstorming fun ways to display them around the hearth. In the past we had used a pretty, dainty display of candles. T...

It's study time for My Katie, and that means it's also time to create a cozy, comfy, peaceful spot in our home for her to sit and relax with those SAT books. When Madeline heard my idea, she went and put together a little haven for Katie in my craft room. Using Nancy Geaney's newest and most fab...

Hi Mel,
This is Cathy, Carla C's assistant! I just double checked my pattern. There are three pieces for the sleeve. The top part which connects to the bodice and the two "Bell Pieces" A and B. For the size 7/8, on the paper pattern itself, the width is 8 5/8 across for both the A and the B where you overlap them.(don't forget you will be cutting this on the fold.) This is much larger than the top piece of the sleeve because you will be gathering the "bell sleeve" part. I hope this helps! If not, please contact me at http://scientificseamstress.com/contact.html
Thanks!!
Cathy

Hi All... It's Madeline, Jennifer's Assistant. I'm here to tell you a little diddy about a place called Toppings.

So I'm on The Book List. I'm happy because every few weeks I get a new book in my mailbox and it's like a little slice of Christmas each time. The folks at FW Media have been graciously sending me these books and I've been graciously happy about them. I have a feeling, though, they want a lit...

A quilt Store search engine!!!! This is going to revolutionize how we search for fabrics. At least in my humble opinion. Quiltshops.com does the searching for you. I loaded the search box with Jennifer Paganelli and 13 stores came up and the individual fabrics that they carry too!!! Below is...
